Let me remind everyone how "RBNW....new and improved!" treated me recently: please browse my Alembic history post from Sept 15, 2009. My point is, after being treated like this on here, it makes me feel like a worthless moron next time I come back here and attempt to make another halfway decent posting. So, it promotes being an idiot here, imo. But I'm not saying I'm perfect - and I do try and promote open-mindedness and a sense of humor here w/o insulting anyone directly. I believe many people share this frustration. It deteriorates this Forum immensely.
I've always continued to say, "I remain today, thanks to all of you, a cured man yet again - so that I may live yet another day on our planet. You all are my therapy and stress relief. I have learned enormously in your presence." Thanks. I figured this was a good place to make this point, rather than making any type of attack or harping about it.

We’ve been around and around this issue endlessly, but basically this a public forum and anyone can come here and post just about anything, and anything that gets posted is public domain and open to being praised, mocked, agreed with, argued about or more than likely simply ignored. Open door means you have to be prepared for those you consider idiots to walk in along with those you consider to be worthy of attention.
None of us can expect to be accorded special treatment no matter how much effort we put in, because you really can’t do anything about who’s going to read your post and how they're going to respond to it - and nor should you. There’s no point in getting annoyed about it. Those who want to engage with you on your own terms will be obvious to you, the others you can safely ignore.
By the way, I came across one of your recordings on a music blog the other day and wondered if you knew about it.

I remain half-heartedly commited to building the Forum of my dreams via collective KubyeYah posting of each and every Forumite I can coerce, beg, or otherwise bend to my will...and if you still want to chauffeur me around in Wales, it would be grand. I'll even save you a place in the cabinet, or whatever you calls it--like the "exchequer" one I always loved!

If I was deleted 5 times and kept coming back with "new and improved" names, you'd think I was an asshole who kept getting deleted right?
You guys coddled that immature pile of dung as he vandalized my forum and scared away newbies from your forum by burying other people's posts for years and now all of a sudden you realize he's a bone smuggler?
This place never ceases to amaze... a psych major could write their thesis on this forum alone.

So far covered Velvet Underground and Nico, Songs of Leonard Cohen, and just embarked on Oar. I think it's really pretty good.

RT doing 3 solo acoustic shows this week, request only, in Saratoga just up the road. Might try to make final night. Word is full on west coast full band tour in February of next year. I can provide the lodging and transport to several of those. Open invite whenever.

As Rob notes, not much any of us can do one way or another, and I suppose I should stop the whole PM biz cause it gives folks the wrong impression (ie, that I, or anyone for that matter, is in control).
Well, you got bigger things to worry about soon enough!

Here's his only qualm: Ghandi said that the work he did required absolute faith in God. Without this faith he would have been unable to risk his life doing the dangerous work he was involved in. The only reason he could go to such extremes for his beliefs was because he knew that if he died, his family would be cared for by God.
Granted, my friend is a devote atheist and a Marxist to boot.
So, I ask of you as proclaimed Ghandi-ist, is it possible to be a Ghandi without having the absolute faith that the man himself said was required?
I know this is a very open-ended question and that's probably because my brain needs some glucose... dinner time!

Nonetheless, I do not feel that he took satisfaction in some sort of materialistic notion of salvation in the respect you allude to in regard to feeling his place/responsibilities would be covered, so to speak. I think he valued his efforts purely in the sense of achieving justice/truth and betterment for humankind rather than satisfying deities, etc.
But, to be honest, I am not that familiar with it all...I certainly never got the necessity of God in it all since he at times provided advice on how to achieve such things in a Thoreau esque, civil disobd fashion.

I think this Ghandi discussion will be yet another in a series of conversations I've had with my roommate regarding the need for some set of guiding principles in directing one's actions for the betterment of mankind.
He is a very intelligent atheist who feels like he can change the world for the better (I know he can) but does not know exactly how. I keep telling him he doesn't have to know how - but if his principles are in order and ingrained in his logic, then his actions will be in accordance with these wishes.
Hopefully I can link you to some of his philosophy eventually as I've been encouraging him to write down his ideas!
Okay, now I'm really too hungry to think. Peace, Tell.

Exactly. This reminds me of another question we pondered:
Gonna preface this by saying that there are people who go out there and decide they are going to change the world - philosophers, politicians, whoever they are, not all of them have good intentions. If there's a bunch of egotistical assholes out there trying to change the world and make a whole bunch of money at the expense of others and the environment, well, why can't we, the gandhis of this world, also go out there and now we can change the world guided by compassion, equality, justice, kindness?
Of course we can. But here's the kicker:
How many people who were truly revolutionary, people who changed the world, were able to be happy in their personal lives (get married, settle down, etc.)?
It's somewhat of a trade-off in this regard... but of course you change the world by changing one person at a time :)

As far as having faith, I think everyone who's got their head on straight (this is actually optional) believes in a set of principles, a personal philosophy of sorts. There is something in most people's lives that serves the same function that faith in a religion or philosophy or psychology or some other kind of science does for someone else.
Lots of people may not be even aware that they have a set of ideals that are dictating their lifestyles and behaviors - take consumerism for example, it's pretty much a religion these days. Did Bush tell us to grieve, or to seek community, or God, when 9/11 happened? He told us to go shopping, because that is our way of life, just as following spiritual ideals is the most important thing in other cultures' ways of life.
This is my favorite thread ever :)

You clearly are a respected and valued member here, and among those that contribute regularly, that goes without saying...you receive as many compliments on your efforts as LiA and would have to rank you up there with him, Dr F, Dali/Dham and a handful of others that unlike Dire, Rob and me, do alot more than just "talk" while at the Forum.
As you know, it's my talking that brought down the Healy thunder, so take some comfort in knowing that sorta thing won't happen to you...hmmm, hope folks don't think I am developing a complex about Dan; and you shouldn't develop one about anyone here either!

The problem is not the content of Rich's posts. Or whether he is talking Football, chatting with Tito, or whatever the hell it is on any given day! You all want to make this a chatroom, as Rob has pointed out, that is your perogative.
What I took issue with is his annoying habit of modifying his posts constantly, for no reason other than moving the thread back to the top of the page, several times a day, and even several days later...
